About the Book: Lucky Number 6

Julia’s debut thriller plunges readers into the aftermath of a harrowing act of violence:

MATT. ALEXANDRA. OLIVIA. CHARLIE.

The only survivors when two gunmen opened fire in a Chicago coffee shop, leaving fourteen dead. Matt, Alexandra, and Olivia are released when the hostages are forced to count off—freedom marked by the number six. Charlie, struck by a bullet, lies in a coma.

Two years later, their lives remain fractured until a mysterious woman enters their orbit, bringing with her a wave of uncanny “luck.” But as fortunes change, her vendetta begins to unfold in chilling ways.

A psychological thriller with a supernatural twist, Lucky Number 6 is a haunting exploration of survival, fate, and the fragile line between good fortune and danger.

With music, dancing, heartfelt toasts, and plenty of cheer, the evening marked the perfect beginning for a story that’s sure to captivate readers everywhere.
